GED Testing and Registration Schedule for
January, February, and March, 2010
East Central Technical
College's Adult Education Division (Service Delivery Area 33)
covers
five counties – Atkinson, Ben Hill, Coffee, Irwin, and Wilcox. All of
these counties work closely with the literacy staff to
show the rest of Georgia and the nation as a whole that educational
training is important and that communities' abilities to retain and to
recruit businesses and industries depend on a viable literacy program.
East Central Tech is proud of its progress in terms of adult literacy.
Last fiscal year, for example, 1,371 students received instruction in
English, reading, and math; moreover, 91 students gained sufficient
knowledge and skills to earn their GEDs. As former Governor Zell Miller
stated in his January 1998 State Address, "Each number is a human being
we have touched, and each touch is like a pebble tossed into the water,
rippling through that person to touch their family, their community,
their state. Behind each number is a face, a life, a promise, a future."
The Adult Education Division at East Central Tech continues to implement
programs that have positive effects on this SDA. To begin with, English
Literacy Programs (ELP’s) are offered in Ben Hill, Atkinson and Coffee
Counties; in addition, local jails have allowed literacy programs
sponsored by ECTC to reach incarcerated individuals who desire to
enter the workforce or post-secondary educational programs after
their sentences have been served.
Our program boasts a director, qualified support staff,
dedicated, experienced instructors, and convenient
locations and class times. SDA 33's adult population is guaranteed "an
educationally androgogical experience that teaches people how to learn,
how to become lifelong learners, and how to think positively about
themselves."
